After doing a quick detour over Fulufjället Nationalpark we were heading right to the heart of Dalarna: to famous lake Siljan. Because I had heard so much about the area we spent a whole day at the lake to discover it's most scenic places. Here are our must-visits:

- The scenic village Leksand. Have a stroll through the tiny roads and enjoy Sweden's most famous desert: Sarah Bernhardt.

- Leksands Kyrka: The church is one of the largest rural churches in Sweden and the oldest parts of the building are from the 13th century
- Pay attention to all the red houses around the lake: Dalarna is the birthplace of the traditional red painting for cottages. The color is called Falu red - and it’s named after the mines at Falun in Dalarna, where The pigment historically originated from.
- Have a swim! Lake Siljan is swedens 6th largest lake. It is the result of a meteorite that hit the area 377 million years ago
